` be a full, clear, and exact description of the glove.

same.

My invention relates to gloves, and it consists of the improved glovehereinafter described and claimed.

Referring to the accompanying drawings for a more complete explanationof my invention-Figure l shows the pattern vof the main body of theglove. Fig. 2 shows -the back piece. Fig. 3 shows the fourchette of thesecond finger. Fig/L shows the fourchette of the third linger. Fig. 5shows the pattern of the back ofthe thumb. Fig. 6 is a View showing thefront of the completedglove. ,Fig 7 is a view showing the back of theglove.

A is the pattern of the main' body of the This has two slits b in whicha point of the fourchette is inserted.

Pattern A forms the entire front or palm of the glove, the entire indexnger, and the small finger, and that side of the glove back, and alsothe front of the thumb. Its sides fold over on the dotted lines d andform complete the index and small ngersfhaving each but one seam c whichis thrown up on the back of the fingers on theirinner sides, (Fig.7.)

In the back, the pattern B (Fig. 2) is inserted. This is stitched alongone side on the seam b to the main pattern and it forms not only aportion ofthe back, but also the backs of the second and third fingers.To form the' front and sides of these fingers there are the fourchettesC andD (Figs. 3 and 4), the former belonging to the second finger andthe latter to the third finger. These fourchettes have, at their bases,a lap m and points n. The fourchettes are inserted in the front,theirlaps m passing under the edge of the? main portion and affording anopportunity to receive as many rows of stitches as may be desirable forstrength. l These stitches form seams o on the front of the glove, aswill be seen in Fig. 6. The points 'n are inserted in the slits b andseams o secure them.

The fourchettes C and D are made wide Serial No.472.203. (No model.) v

enough to form the front and both sides of their fingers so that theseams c by which they are joined to the back portion B are thrown ou theback of the fingers on each side, as shown in Fig. 7. i

The parts thus described are in the main, with one exception, those thatare shown in my previous Patent N o. 282,667, dated August 7, 1883. Thatexception is in that portion of 6o the main pattern A, herein shown,which provides for the front of the thumb, and for the insertion of theindependent piece which forms the .back of the'thumb.

In my previous patent I showed 'a hole in 65 the main pattern in Whichmight be inserted, as therein stated, any kind of a thumb, and Jit willbe observed that the thumb shown in the drawings of that patent is anordinary one, in which the front and back consist of separate 7o piecesunited to each other, and also to the main pattern, front` and back,which thus leave a seam conforming to the line of the ball of the thumb,which is objectionable, land a seam on the back approximately in theline 7 5 ofthe fold of the main pattern on that side.

In my present invention, the portion of the main pattern which forms thefront of the thumb, is designated by E, and this part, therefore,constitutes an integralpart of the 8o palm of the glove. It is partiallysevered from the main pattern on the line e-e, as

'shown in Fig. 1,and said main pattern is cut down on the line e-e'.

In Fig. 5 is seen the pattern of the inde- 85 pendent piece E whichincludes not only the back of the thumb, but a portion also of the backofthe glove, the latter portion having a point E2.

Now, as will be seen in Fig. 6, the front E 9o of the thumb, and theback E are joined together on the seam e-e'. They are also joinedtogether down the inner side of the thumb, and thence the point portionE2 of the piece E extends in a seam on the line e-e over to the edge ofthe back piece, and the Whole other edge of piece E is secured along theseam e3 to the adjacent edge of the back piece B of the glove. This seame3 represents any seam/which may be in the back Ico `of the glove andVis not dependent upon position, nor as being formed partly by aseparate back piece, such as B, but for practical purposes theparticular construction and position are deemed best. By thus cuttingthe thumb, I avoid any seam in the crease or line of the ball of thethumb, thus making it seamless. I am also enabled to cut to an advantageand to conform the thumb to the natural position of the thumb of thehand both in front and in the back.

Having thus described myinvention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is

A glove constructed of the main portion fashioned to form the front,oneside and the index and small fingers of the body of the glove, saidportion having formed integral with the palm thereof, the front E of theREUBEN RAYMOND.
